  • I think the main complaint is that it seems like Canonical is trying take control of Linux packaging. Don't they handle their stuff in a way that pretty much prevents third party 'Snap Stores'? Like, their backend being closed source and their software only accepting their own signatures?

  • All but 5 look like cheap crap and I don't like 5 for forks sake

  • In fairness to him, the number of people killed by police is rising and there are nazi cops. Still, can't pull the trigger in Germany without an investigation and nazis can/do get kicked out of the police just for being one

  • Imagine having a thing like that but with a touch screen. Like, a rectangular assistant you can always carry with you! Oh, wait...

  • Aren't they installed by default on Mint? Definitely are on some distros, I think EndeavourOS and Garuda Linux for example

  • Pointieststick, Itsfoss, GamingOnLinux, KDE Blogs

  • Linux basically cannot damage hardware in any way that Windows couldn't. The hardware/firmware decides what interfaces it offers and what you can configure. If any hardware puts these roadblocks only in the driver or some UI, and (for whatever reason) only the Windows version, I guess you could.

    Would be a really strange thing to do tho, since most just implement a generic driver that works everywhere and then at most an interface on top of that.

  • Germany, 7€/month, 7GB, sms + phone flat

  • Let me tell you a couple things about PhDs in CS:

    • Research is highly competitive, avoid if don't have ambition or can't handle constant pressure
    • Some (most) jobs do not require PhDs, but most will care about practical experience and age
    • Research is a lot of work. If you want a peer group, you work 40h a week, then peer review stuff for your buddies. You will need buddies, because you need peer reviews too of course
    • (As you already mentioned) at least until you have your PhD, pay is between bad and insulting

    If you do have the ambition to land a top-tier position in the end, maybe even stay and compete in research, go for it. If you love doing research, go for it. If you just want the title, just don't. Go work somewhere. Best case they offer a PhD programme at the company or you can earn certificates and whatnot

  • Don't you hate on donkeys! They are an excellent mean of transportation on tough terrain. I don't know in what context russia uses them, but the US do so too :D

  • Love how this is downvoted only for another thread to come to pretty much the same conclusion lol

  • There is no such thing as a feature that doesn't need documentation. Anyone who thinks so is asking everyone else not to use it

  • Connecting to any trustworthy VPN at the very least:

    1. Encrypts your connection entirely and ensures you are connected to a party you trust
    2. Limits snooping in your traffic to one party you trust

    Which is objectively not a scam and a desirable thing to do. Not as desirable as hosting your own VPN, but 100% better than not having one, no matter what some guy on the internet says.

  • Being "up to date" is a lie big Debian tells people to make them feel comfortable about being behind on patches. Wake up people!

  • They had a luxurious outing in some big-oil palace. It's hard work man, they had to literally, very briefly, walk through the desert

  • I think the first couple seasons of BBT are brilliant and then it rapidly became worse. There are only so many maths and physics jokes you can crack before it gets boring.

    Also, it seems like the characters went from likable, socially awkward goofballs to just straight up being assholes all the time. Except for Howard, who kinda always was one.

  • Have you considered that you can be attracted to more than one thing, and that this may evolve over time? You don't expect people to be like 'I'm gay now' at age 12 and then automatically have zero interest in anything else, do you?
